  When we arrived the room was 85 degrees. The windows were open and the humidity was so high the bedding felt damp. Whole room smelled of mildew and was decorated with dusty and tattered junk like what you might pull out of your basement for a yard sale. The tiny window box AC unit took 2 hours to cool the room. In fairness the bathroom was nice and the screen porch in the main building had a lovely view of a waterfall. However, the screen porch is also filled with dusty junk, and smells of mildew. Breakfast was waffles, pastries, and fruit. It was actually pretty good, but my stomach was in knots because the lady that runs it was so mean to us at check in I was actively avoiding her whenever possible. We were the only guests and I can see why. Would not stay there again if they paid me. It’s sad, because the location is nice, but it’s badly mismanaged. Avoid if possible.

  We loved that this is a hidden gem in the mountains! The waterfall is mesmerizing! Linda and Mike prepared delicious breakfasts for us using locally sourced ingredients. This is a very peaceful retreat, and I would highly recommend it as a getaway!!

  The inn is nestled next to a creek that descends precipitously and forcefully over and through large boulders, which creates a delightful setting for the facility. The first impression though is that the property needs sprucing up. Exterior is moldy and dingy and the common area that greeted us is musty and hot because there is no ac in that area. All interior trim, at least, needs cleaning and paint. That being painfully said however, we genuinely liked Mike and Linda and appreciate their love for our earth, and understand their choices for no ac, which is probably not needed most of the year, and minimalism as culture screams for us to consume more and discard and fill the earth with plastic landfills and all the other waste, I see them as pushing back against the culture and value that integrity. The breakfast was amazing, Johnny cakes made from corn harvested in the valley and milled at Sylvan Mill, delicious scones, and sausage. Mike is a wonderful chef and Linda is a very attentive host with a true servant's heart. The coffee could have been hotter though. We brought home some grits they milled from corn there in the valley and they are wonderful! Overall, we enjoyed our stay, especially our conversation with these nice people!!

  Liven in the ruff

  It is rustic. Wild natural plants in landscaping. Nice to listen to waterfall near breakfast room where you're out of the hot sun. Beds and air conditioning are not the best but doable. I have a service dog, so we were placed in a room that is older. Breakfast was very good. They grind their own flour from their old mill. Also, make natural soaps.
